Ok really enjoying Ray LaMontagne with my champagne buzz:Song: "Jolene"By: Ray LaMontagneAlbum: Trouble (it's at the end of some Ben Affleck movie I cannot recall the name off but it is about bank robbers)

[size=150][i]"Cocaine flame in my bloodstream Sold my coat when I hit Spokane Bought myself a hard pack of cigarettes in the early morning rain

Lately my hands they don't feel like mine My eyes been stung with dust, I'm blind Held you in my arms one time Lost you just the same

Jolene I ain't about to go straight It's too late I found myself face down in the ditch Booze in my hair Blood on my lips A picture of you, holding a picture of me in the pocket of my blue jeans

Still don't know what love means Still don't know what love means Jolene

Jolene Been so long since I seen your face or felt a part of this human race"[/i][/size

I think Jay get a lot of girl with that type of sentence

I think it's "but you'll always be part of my plan".lyrics are personal, and not always easy to interpret b/c we can't always figure who & the meaning.But this song sounds sorta sounds like an apology to a love or friend.

Or, perhaps, the "you" is a life plan, or a potential mate. Who knows.But the empty picture frame has gotta be someone gone, or someone/thing not fulfilled.

there was this song by Carly Simon called "You're so Vain" and for years nobody knew who it was about. I heard recently she revealed it was about some arrogant producer/music biz guy! I always assumed it was about James Taylor!

Ha! That's funny you mention that song...a couple of friends of mine were in a metal band called Faster Pussycat (from the 80's) and they covered that song. It was one of their biggest hits!
